The leadership and activists of the Alliance For Change (AFC) working in teams have commenced an intensive programme of outreach activities throughout the nation. The outreach work is meant to introduce the movement to communities and persons in areas not previously visited during the pre-launch listening tour. Visits have been planned and targeted based on requests received from members of these communities for the AFC to come and to interact with members of the public and supporters.
The teams are led by members of the Steering Committee and will interface with members of the public to unveil the AFC’s platform for elections, to hear of issues confronting communities, and to work with leaders in the communities to find solutions to the problems being encountered.
Since the commencement of the new year, areas visited include Linden, Maichony Creek to address concerns arising out of the flood, and West Coast Berbice. In the coming weeks, teams will fan out to cover the East Coast of Demerara, The Soesdyke/Linden Highway communities, Rupununi, Pomeroon, Mahadia, Kurupung, and Matthews Ridge and other communities in Region 1 (Barima/Waini).
The AFC intends to field candidates in each of the electoral Regions, and will also be seeking to identify candidates to represent the movement both at the National and as well as Regional levels.
Reports and photographs will be posted at the conclusion of each visit.
